      Ed, I came here after watching your video from today highlighting the news clip from WISN 12 Milwaukee which is where I live! As you stated, Joaquin was simply stating the truth about the dairy industry where the calf is ripped from the mother hours after birth and that the product in which they enrich themselves with is not designed for human consumption! Its for the baby calf! Thank you Ed for all you do to enlighten the world!

      A farmer can’t get another job. A farmer earns his position as a farmer. You can’t just magically switch jobs when you’ve worked hard for one your whole life.
      An animal getting another life is irrelevant if they were raised for meat or if it’s completely natural to eat them.

      Oh god not this argument again.
      A farmer shouldn’t have to go through the ridiculous and unnecessary stupid procedure of changing a job simply because vegan idiots don’t understand morality and reality, if it is even possible for them to do that in the first place.
      I don’t care whether it’s “*impossible*” for an animal to get another life, since their life being taken was justified.
      Don’t stupidity tell people what you think they should have the right to do or not to do.
      If you breed animals it is perfectly okay to eventually kill them if done for the consumption of meat. Since the issue here is a moral one it just have to tackle it this way. There is nothing wrong with taking the life of an animal if done for the purpose of food consumption. There are instances when killing is okay and even should be done, e.g, self defence, euthanasia, in war, when punishing a crime worthy of death, for the consumption of food, etc. You might say that these instances are life threatening and aren’t comparable to meat consumption, and you would be wrong. When you punish a death row convict with death, the people killing the them don’t have their life threatened but it was completely justified, but even so that is still irrelevant, as it’s still moral to eat meat even though it isn’t just for survival as the act of simply consuming food is not evil as fulfilling your basic human function is not evil. “But how is it not evil to eat meat when you could just chose plants and save a life?!”
      Because it is still completely natural for us to do so, and just because we can survive on eating plants, doesn’t mean we should or should just suppress our natural instincts to eat meat, just as we shouldn’t suppress our other instincts. Also the act of taking the life of an animal for food is not evil, so whether I can to save it’s life by eating plants is irrelevant as the life being taken was justified.
      “But nature isn’t morality! Also not suppressing your natural instincts justified rape and murder!”
      As for the first point, wow. So you admit that you’re against nature then, if you’re going against it due to its lack of morality? But hypocritical coming from someone who claims to be eco friendly. You of all people then should realise then the nature doesn’t give a shit about our morality and that it is how the world works and if we go against it, we are fucking it up. That is something that we have to live with whether we like it or not, as the world or biological life doesn’t work by human morality. If we value our morality so much than we will have to come to a compromise with nature, that will prevent our humanity while respecting nature and the eco system. We do this raising the animals in conditions that are the best for them and ending their lives as humanely and peacefully as possible (which is something you can do? Many vegans don’t think it’s possible to kill something humanely, which is just flat out false).

      Watch "Dairy is Scary" and or the undercover sting op at Fairlife Farms. The longest ongoing joke over my 38 years was how much cheese I consumed daily. It's been since June 27th and I have zero cravings or deprived feelings. Actually picturing the process when there's a delicious cheese in front of me makes the sides of my throat tingle as if I'm about to vomit. Being completely transparent, I doubt I would have succeeded five years ago. But the abundance of options and evolution of vegan foods makes it incredibly easy. I know everyone lives life on their own terms and I choose to go dairy free for the tortured animal moral issues, not for health at all. HOWEVER, I did nothing different in my routine and I lost all of the bloating I had for decades. I had learned to deal with bloating but I lost about 26 lbs and the bloat simply by vigilantly avoiding dairy. I did grow up on meat and potatoes and personally loved it. Some vegans hate plant based meat as they already hated meat itself. But I loved it and there's something for everyone! Full transparency you will have to learn through failure. Just like anything else, not everyone loves the same thing. Go to Sprouts and Trader Joe's, you'll feel like I did. A mortified deer in the headlights. Truthfully though, they aren't judging you! You don't have to learn how to cook either. You can do fast food or buy tons of veg and fruit, chop it up and make whatever you want! I never thought I'd find a dip to replace my ranch. Then I found gold! Good Foods dips, the queso flavor is... well there are no words

We do inseminate cows, take their babies when they're born, which doubtlessly causes distress to the animal, and then we take the milk that was intended for that calf to live off of, and use it in our food/beverages. Whether you're vegan or not, that is true.

      Hopefully the decline of the dairy industry will trigger the fall of the meat industry, at least for cows. So much meat comes from dairy cows, with them out of the picture, meat will be (even) more expensive to produce.

      Who are you lot kidding. Yes you may reduce the sales so butchers can’t stay open. But what you will do then is force more to go to big supermarkets that get there meat and milk from the farms you lot so hate. Try stopping all the Chinese and Indians from cooking meat. You have no chance. Old people dnt listen to this stuff I asked my Nan she’s had no idea what I was on about. She still goes and buys her meat. And so will I. And my son. We dnt like veg on its own no matter how it’s prepped

But younger people are more willing to listen and change, which is what we're seeing. Needless to say, there are also plenty of meat alternatives besides veg. Whole plant foods, mock meats, etc. I also said I'd never be a vegan, but it's so easy now! It's hard to predict change.

    And everything what Joaquin and Earthling Ed have said about calves taken, milking cows to sell milk to local people in our case just to make money, leaving the baby females for diary cows and sending poor baby male bulls to slaughterhouse when they a few or several months old it's all true.
    I was growing up and thought that this is all normal. Well it's not!
    When baby calf was separated from mum the same day or sometimes 2, 3 days later they both were crying for weeks day and night.
    So glad I grown up and became vegan now. I just regret I did it so late! Once I educated myself about consuming diary/meat/eggs and how unhealthy it is for us I changed overnight.

This is exactly when we have to keep pushing forward and not back down on our convictions and fighting for it.

    Times are changing and the moral compass is shifting - even the medical community is starting to slowly tell us to reduce or eliminate dairy. "Dairy isn't going anywhere"?

      We feel entitled ... to blanket vast expanses of plants with herbicides, and overturn vast acreages of soil - displacing and starving billions of sentient animals, directly killing billions of small mammals and reptiles, quadrillions of insects, and untold numbers of soil microbiota, so we can grow food to eat, which we've dubbed "cruelty free" and "vegan." Dairy is a complete food, containing all fat soluble vitamins needed for human nutrition. Plant based diets are deficient in several key nutrients.
